Lec 1. Intro to musculoskeletal system and bone Flashcards
based on morphology, tissue are divided by 4 kinds
epithelial
nervous
connective
muscle
5 types of connective tissue
tendon ligament fascia cartilage bone
What is the composition of bone (4)
collagen
calcium phosphate
water
amorphous proteins
What are the 3 parts of bone
Epiphysis - top part
metaphysis - where bone flares
diaphysis - shaft
What do osteoblasts do
form new bone
what to osteoclasts do
degradation of bone
What is compact bone
dense cortical bone (shell)
What is cancellous bone
trabecular bone (sponge)
What is periosteum
highly innervated outer lining
When a person breaks a bone what part sends the pain
the periosteum
Osteoporosis affects bone how
the amount of bone is decreased and the structural integrity of trabecular bone is impaired. Cortical bone becomes more porous and thinner. This makes the bone weaker and more likely to fracture.
Which type of bone is better at resisting compression
cortical bone
Which type of bone does not resist tension forces well
cortical bone
When a bone starts to bend which side (convex or concave) will initiate the fracture
Convex
Which type of bone does not resist compression
cancellous bone - think of a sponge, you can squish it but it is better at tension
At what week of embryonic development do limb buds appear
5th week
At what week of embryonic development does endochondral ossification occur
7th week
*At what week of embryonic development does the primary ossification and periosteum development happen
7th week
What main thing happens at the 7th week of embryonic development
primary ossification and periosteum develop - first spot where cartilage becomes bone
What happens to bone at birth
secondary center of ossification - cartilage is turning into bone
What happens at the 6th week of embryonic development
- Mesenchymal cells replaced by cartilage
* Cartilaginous model
What happens at the 6th month of embryonic development
• Resorption of central part of long bone results in formation of a medullary cavity
When secondary ossification is complete, there are 2 possible sites for cartilaginous growth in long bone, which are
Articular cartilage
epiphyseal plate
how does bone growth occur at the epiphyseal plate cartilage?
balance between
- Interstitial growth of the cartilage cells of the plate
- Calcification, death and replacement of cartilage
how does bone grow in width
two methods:
1. Width by intramembranous ossification
-Appositional (adding layers) growth via osteoblasts within periosteum (cavity gets bigger too. osteoclasts dissolve away. but at the same time osteoblast all laying down more bone on the outside)
2. Simultaneously, medullary cavity becomes larger through osteoclastic resorption of bone
(cavity gets bigger too. osteoclasts dissolve away. but at the same time osteoblast all laying down more bone on the outside)
Bones and all connective tissue response to stress. This is what we are trying to do with therex, we are trying to give the persons connective tissue enough stress. But, what would happen if you exceed the load?
tissue will fail
Wolff’s law
remodeling of bone in response to physical stress
bone deposited in sites subjected to stress
bone resorbed from sites where there is little stress ( if you don’t use it you lose it. )
Concave vs convex side of bone
cortical bone resist compression. good for concave side of the bone. without thick cortical bone this would buckle. but cortical not good for tension. the more lateral side will have more tension. and the lateral side has thin cortical bone.
Concave bone properties
Thick Cortical bone
Better Alignment of trabecular systems
Convex bone properties
Thin Cortical bone
Decreased Alignment of trabecular systems
Theory of induced electrical potentials
Negative electrical charge on concave side of bone
–>Compression force = deposition
Positive electrical charge on convex side of bone
–>Tension force = resoption
What are the clinical implications for the theory of induced electrical potentials
Electrical stimulation of osteogenesis when there is delayed union of fracture
bone stimulator - is a device that a person will wear that will help stimulate growth
A person with what condition would you not want to stimulate bone growth
myositis ossificans - you do not want to stimulate bone growth in a muscle or any type of heterotopic ossification
